i have ain instagram @feralforest where i share behind the scenes crafty beautiful foresty goodness. <3

my shop started as an outlet for random crafts and geek-out moments, and has evolved to meet more closely my dreams for my life. while i initially offered little critters made out of wire and simple books, i now offer photography of wild places, herbal medicines that i wild craft from the forests, baskets made from respectfully harvested trees (for firewood or building), adornment made from found and reclaimed items, and other magical delights that arise in the process of living wild. as i'm 'going mobile' for the foreseeable future, many of my larger and bulkier offerings are taking a back seat to things that i can sell quickly as i move from place to place.

the money that i make with this shop supports my ability to live away from town. i'm strongly anti-civilization and working toward involving capitalism less and less in my life, and making money from hand crafts instead of holding down normal jobs is much healthier for me as a creature. i exist at several intersections of privilege, and pass on a good portion of my income in the form of reparations to black people, land payments to Indigenous folks whose land i'm occupying, and donations to QTBIPOC (Queer & Trans Black, Indigenous, & People of Color).
